to night. john: this week we have come to one of the most prestigious universities in america, university of maryland -- north carolina i debated former vermont governor about the role of government. i hope i convince them but i don't know. when everything it is important we have an open debate. and traditionally that is what universities were supposed to be about. open debate. but college campuses often are not. two reasons.
12:01 am
some have speech codes of what you cannot say. some are so liberal libertarians and conservatives are ostracized if they speak up. you had a student here? >> 2010. and robert studies free-speech and is with fire the foundation for individual rights and education. hadley, you were not very political. what happened? >> i have opinions but struggled what i believe, when to speak up, and when to be quiet. john: the because of friends ? >> there were a variety of

12:03 am
>> he was shouted down. john: somewhere outside the building and throwing rocks through the window? >> university reacted and condemned the action. unc denounce. but some people did not want to have the debate. some think my views are so illegitimate i should not say them. john: you go to campuses around the country. most illiberal others are silenced? >> that is fair. the culture is monolithic they don't seem interested to change that. they pass policies to make it more difficult for
12:04 am

12:08 am
civility code? >> it was on a refrigerator magnet and had to put it on every refrigerator in the dorm. it is not a bad thing but the obsession to make sure their civil can hinder debate. some people are more passionate and others. it comes across as on civil. that is the point* of dialogue. you are supposed to be offended so i think of passionate discourse should be encouraged. not discouraged. >> civility is great and should be the rule but certain circumstances civility cannot be paramount. dealing with civil-rights movement, you simply cannot
12:09 am

12:26 am
so the domestic legal union is how it is defined. john: should people be allowed to marry three women? >> that does not make sense. the history of marriage is between two and the vigils. john: this history is to tell a people to hide in the closet. >> that is not the debate we're having. >> consenting adults should not be -- should be married. why not polygamy? that is for another organization. i am just happy giving north carolinian is the opportunity. >> if the government has an
